The holidays are a time to celebrate but they are also a time of giving. There are so many people that don’t have the privilege of a holiday experience they justly deserve, whether it be gifts or a hearty meal. While we celebrate with our family and friends it is important to reflect on all the blessings that have been bestowed on us and remember that we have a duty to help others. That’s why Swagbucks is humbly asking all of you to be Santa’s Lil Helpers this holiday season in their newest Team Challenge!

For the first time ever Swagbucks will allow us to donate your Team Challenge bonuses to a charity of our choice!

Our story did not exactly follow that order. We had been engaged twice and called them off because we were so young and could not afford a wedding - or so we thought. We found out that we were expecting in December 2008. I was working full time while being a full time college student that I did not notice my period never came.

Welcome to the first post in my new Wednesday series " Wife-Life Wednesdays!" I am so excited to bring you personal stories, quotes, resources and more devoted to marriage.

I first met King J ten years ago at work. We started dating a few months later. We were engaged three times but could not afford a wedding. When we discovered that Princess A was on the way, we knew we could not put it off any longer. Who knwe that a ceremony at the courthouse was so affordable and less stressful?! Next month we will celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. As with anything worth fighting for, there have been many highs, lows and in-betweens along our journey together. God has used them to transform us both as a couple and individually. Please join me weekly as I get personal about our journal so far, hopes for the future plus other goodies I have to share with you.

In the comments, let me know how long you have been with you signiicant other.

Welcome to the first post in my new Monday series " Mom-Life Mondays!" I am so excited to bring you personal stories, interesting articles, information and more devoted to motherhood.

I became a mother at the age of 21 (Princess A), right after graduating from college. We welcomed a second child this summer (Prince C). There have been many highs, lows and in-betweens along this road of motherhood, but I would not want it any different. My children have both built me up and humbled me many times and changed my life forever. Please join me weekly as I get personal about my journal so far, hopes for the future plus other goodies I have to share with you.

In the comments, let me know what stage of parenting are you in - infants, toddlers, preschoolers, preteen, etc!
